Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Dear Friends, I have another question. What is the difference between idiopathic scoliosis and neuromuscular scoliosis? Here is my story. I thought had idiopathic because he was diagnosed 7 years ago with a chiari malformation and his scoliosis was a result of that. He has been treated by wearing a Providence bending brace and it has kept his curve down to 35 degrees. He is now 11 years old. We are fighting with Medicaid to pay for his newest brace. So I received a copy of a letter that his doctor sent stating that he had neuromuscular scoliosis. So now I am confused. Thanks again, Gloria Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife.
